Chreese

I bought the chreese that comes in the box with regular pasta. The pasta itself is NOT gluten free, but I am wondering if the actual chreese is? Does anyone know?

I plan on just using the packet and Tinkyada gluten-free pasta.

Chreese is gluten-free. It's kind of funky, but I like it. Make sure you take your pot off the heat before you mix the powder with the liquid (if you mix it in an already heated pan it gets clumpy). You usually need more liquid than it says, and it really helps to add in olive oil and Italian herbs at the end.

It's strange because it's not a very consistent product. Sometimes I buy it and it's soooo good and other times it tastes bitter and strange. :huh:

I like the alfredo style chreese with rice pasta in the box.

Well that was probably more than what you wanted to know. :lol:

Laughing at myself . . . I have never heard of chreese before . . . I thought your topic must have had a typo but since you kept typing it "wrong" and Mango responded with it typed the same way, I decided I must go google!!!

Learn something new everyday!!! And now I've got a product to check out if we take my daughter dairy free . . . Thanks!

No, sadly it's not dairy free...and I'm now casein free as well. Wait, what's this chreese stuff? They make soy AND dairy free cheese? *goes to wikipedia in excitement*

All Chreese is dairy and soy free but not all of it is gluten-free so check the boxes and packets. They make a gluten-free line and a regular line and I don't think the wheat mac and cheese has the gluten-free sauce. The gluten-free pasta is not too good so I usually get the sauce packets and mix it with Tinkyada. The nacho chreese in the jar is pretty good too.

Chreese is gluten free. You can also get gluten-free pasta from them in the package. Or you can get bulk Chreese powder from them which is what I do. I also get the jars of Nacho Chreese sauce.

Is this true? So if I got the packed of chreese from a regular box of pasta...will I get glutened? Or do I have to buy the chreese separately. I bought the gluten free pasta mix tihng once and it was terrible pasta. So, I wanted to buy the regular one, just to get the regular flavor of chreese (not the alfedo stuff! blech!) and just make it with gluten-free pasta.

So, is ALLLLLLL chreese gluten-free? :)

What a funny sentence. It's too bad google exists. We could have fooled Janet into thinking we have some sort of weird obsession with the r key. :rolleyes:

I seriously thought all chreese was gluten-free when I replied earlier, but now I am doubting myself. :unsure:. I don't know! :ph34r::blink: I wonder b/c lentil flour is listed as an ingredient in the gluten-free mac and chreese boxes and I don't see it listed on the regular boxes...hmm...confusion. :unsure: :unsure:

The thing to be careful of with Chreese is that they put MSG in their products. Another dairy free cheese is made by Galaxy Nutritional Foods, but they also use MSG in at least some if not all of their products. Too bad, because they also make a dairy-free, soy-free cheese product.

Packaging labels are often deceptive when it comes to MSG. Here's some good info on the topic: Open Original Shared Link

When I saw your name here I knew that's what your post was going to be about. :)

I've read up on this and I can't find anything that proves nutritional yeast = msg. If you have a source other than truth in labeling (which I've read thoroughly) would you PM it to me? (I don't want to debate about msg on Kassandra's thread). Thanks.

I unfortunately can't eat the Chreese because it has tapioca :angry: That stuff is in everything....and it does not like me :P

Anyway, I bought the Galaxy Rice Cheese--the Vegan is gluten, soy, casein and lactose free. I hope it's not taste free :lol: . I haven't tried it yet.

Unfortunately, not all chreese is gluten-free. The dry mixes have a regular version and a gluten-free version. The Nacho Chreese in the jar is gluten-free. Here are the ingredients for the regular cheddar cheese sauce and the gluten-free version:

Cheddar Style Chreese Mix

Ingredients: Organic Unbleached White Flour, Nutritional Yeast, Organic Tapioca Starch, Unrefined Sea Salt, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Ground Yellow Mustard Seed, Organic Onion Powder, and Annatto.

Contains Wheat.

Cheddar Style Gluten Free Chreese Mix

Ingredients: Organic Brown Rice Flour, Organic Tapioca Starch, Nutritional yeast, Organic Green Lentil Flour, Unrefined Sea Salt, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Ground Yellow Mustard Seed, Organic Onion Powder, and Annatto.

You can see the chreese packets here: Open Original Shared Link. and the mac and chreese here: Open Original Shared Link

The packages look annoyingly similar...

good luck!

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
